Judge MuIkeY,s Remarks.

OTTAWA, Ills, Sept. 4.-Thls Is the
announcement Of Judge Mulkey: at Is
not my Intention to offer separate
opinion, as should have done had 1 so
held. desire to avail myself Of this oc-
casion to say that while concur In the
conclusions reached and also In the gen.
eral views as entered In the
opinion filed, l do not wish to
be understood as holding that the
record Ia free from error, for | do not
think 1t is. l am nevertheless Of opinion
that none OF the errors complained of
are OF such serious character as to re-
quire reversal of judgment. In view Of
the number Of defendants on trial, the
great length Of time consumed in the
trial, the vast amount of testimony
offered and passed upon by the court.
and the almost numberless rulings the
court was required to make, the won
derment to me Is that the errors were
not more numerous and of q more seri-
GUS character than they are. In the re-
port, after having fully examined the re-
cord and giving the questions arising on
1t my very best thought with an earnest
and conscientious desire to faithfully
discharge my who,e duty, 1 am fully sat-
isfied that the opinion reached Is q vim
dioatiOn OF the law, and does complete
Justice between the people of the state
and the defendants and is fully warrant
ed by the law and the evidence.

Constantly near Mrs. Coekerill and un-
der the watohful guardianship Of Gel.

Smith, whose bright eyes have been the

pale pink satin, trimmed with olive
green plush and point lace, with dia-
mond and pearl ornaments.

THE GIRLS CAN DOT,

The gospel of social cleanness, as
preached from the LIGHT columns this
week, will not fail of accomplishing
good. There is one feature Of this sub
ject, however, that should not be over
looked, AS it lie the young women, the
girls Of San Antonio, that are sinned
against in this thing, let them set them
selves earnestly to work TO correct the
evil and punish the sinners. If the
young ladies of San Antonio would form
a club for mutual self-protection, and
arrange to exclude from their society all
young men who are known to be guilty
of social offences, they will work a
marked reformation in the character of
the young gentlemen of this city. Let
them refuse to accept any attention
from, or associate with. a young man
who has thought more OF his wine glass
than of their womanhood, while in their
presence, and the lesson will not be lost.
Visit the sins Of drunkenness ami de-
bauchery upon the heads of those who
commit them, by excluding them from
your presence; by refusing to accept
them as escorts or companions, or to
grant them street recognition, and a
change in the habits Of many will fol-
low. The correction of the evils COM
planned of lies wholly within the power
of the mothers and daughters of this
city. Ladies, you have the remedy in
your own hands. You are the social
queens. You open and you close the
social gates at will. What you open no
man can close, what you close no man
can open. 1t is for you to say, and you
alone can say, whether the rOue and the
debauOhee, and the man who takes his
whisky so straight that he himself walks
croOkedly, shall be admitted to your
drawing room and given by your au-
thOrity the entree into society. If the
ladies of San Antonio will not purge
their homes from this blot upon them,
how can they expect a young man to
purge himself from his vices.

lose as much and suffer as little as Tex
"a. With billiards. and roaring waters In
the north west, miles OF snow drifts cubits
high in the northeast, frosts and deluges
In the southeast, Texas may still find
cause for comfort In that she only has
to battle with drouth and long season
still before her In which to make good
the deficiencies Of the early months Of
seed time and harvest. So far as her
crops are concerned, Texas can plant six
weeks from now and have plenty Of time
to mature her crops. Let rain come any
time within thirty days and there will
be no difficulty in securing good crops Of
oats and corn and cotton. StOCkmen,
particularly sheepmen, have suffered
material loss, but their losses are not
heavy compared to those which have
been visited upon the farmers along the
Missouri, In the Dakota wheat regions.

NIL DESPERANDU

There are many who are discouraged
concerning the outcome Of this Irish
struggle. Having turned their eyes anx-
iously for years toward home govern
ment. as the captive Jews turned theirs
towards Jerusalem, the eyes OF the
watchers grow weary and the hearts OF
many fail. There is no real cause for
this encouragement in the existing con-
dition Of the Irish question. 1t is true
that the government party are In the
ascendant. That Gladstone and his
liberal friends and the Irish party are on
the opposition benches. That measures
Of coercion are being debated In the
English parliament and that evictions
are being made of Irish tenants under
the most inhuman and oppressive or
ders of government. But, 1t Ia also
true that the conservatives are them
selves willing and anxious to propose
measures OF relief for Ireland that no
tory government would have dreamed
of offering or accepting ten years ago.
Ii Is true that this tory government are
ready and DESTROYS Of submitting to par
Lament land purchase scheme whereby
the Irish tenant in few years shall
possess the land OF his fathers. These
changes are changes of no ordinary char
AFTER, and prove beyond question that
the cause Of Ireland Is making substan-
tial progress. The national league has
given new dignity, and an unwonted
Judicial character TO this Irish demand
for home rule and agrarian rights. The
"Fenian" period has passed. The unor-
ganized, impracticable schemes OF relief
for which that movement stood sponsor
have given place to a national party
whose demands are urged upon the
floors Of imperial parliament and backed
by the voice of Britain's greatest states
man. The righteousness of lreland's
highest resort in England, has awak-
ened a profound thOughtiulness among
a very considerable portion of England's
own states men, and Gladstone is by no
means without strong following In his
demand for justice in behalf OF Ireland.
These American states have not been
uninterested spectators of the struggle
for Irish autonomy, and England has
heard the voice OF our people like the
voice OF many waters, swelling the
sounds of discomfort and denunciatiOn
that rebuke the tyranny and injustice Of
that nation. England cannot turn
deaf ear to these cries on both sides the
water. They have already produced
some effect in modifying the measures OF
government and will produce more as
this reproof grows more pronounced.
We verify believe that the blacklist hours
of Ireland's night has already passed,
and that the signs of breaking day are
plainly descernable.
